TheLolliPopKid: Swim Lessons

I am a little ashamed to admit that Cal was 13 months old before he started swim lessons. I've only worked for pools and taught lessons myself for the past 15 years! It's not that he hasn't been swimming - he loves the lake - but it is hard to find activities that fit a working parent's schedule. After our failed attempt at Diaper Dancing this fall (the afternoon class was cancelled due to lack of enrollment), I made it a priority to sign Cal up for lessons this session. We picked Saturdays because Billy has every other one off so he could participate too.

We have a little fishy on our hands! He loves the water. He will even let us go under water with him. He doesn't quite get the concept of jumping off the side, but loves when we help him. He can hold onto the side by himself and can even climb out if you give him a little boost. He does not like being on his back and does everything he can to sit up and roll over when you try to have him lay back. We'll have to practice that one!
